electioneer
Canvass for office
To electioneer is to campaign actively for a candidate or party, especially by canvassing voters directly.
The word often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting aggressive or calculated political maneuvering rather than principled advocacy: Party operatives were electioneering outside the polling station.
An electioneer is one who engages in such activity.
